Foodics bought Solo Venture completely and said it would merge Solo's tools into the Foodics platform to give restaurants an all-in-one solution, which means Solo's ordering technology could reach more restaurants depending on how that combination unfolds. Solo Venture is a UK-based provider of self-ordering kiosks, white-label websites, and application ordering technology.

Solo's ordering products connect to more than 30 point-of-sale, loyalty, payment, and delivery integrations.

Solo Venture charges a flat monthly fee for each branch location and collects nothing per order or for setup, so the orders it processes add no revenue beyond the plan price. Its plans list a first branch at $99 with additional branches at $69, then $149 and $99 on the higher plan. With per-branch cost to serve and customer retention undisclosed, contribution margin per branch cannot be computed.

Each month, Solo Venture's platform handles over $2 million in orders across 750,000 users globally. Users include both single-branch solopreneurs and international franchises managing hundreds of branches.

Solo Venture routes orders from the customer's channel through point-of-sale integration into the restaurant's kitchen. Customers place pickup or delivery orders through Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter straight to the restaurant.

Ordering has zero setup cost and no commission. Solo Venture provides 30+ integrations spanning POS, loyalty, payment, and delivery companies.
